Some people have job security by the nature of this situation. Doctors and nurses, for example. My job is QA work in a food factory, so naturally I am still working because people have to eat. Anyone else still working?
Are you still working?

I'm at work right now. I work in a very small office, dispatching people to pick up dead bodies. I guess that I'm lucky that this virus is keeping me working, but we are busier than usual so it's a bit stressful. Hopefully not too many of you Cyclone fanatics are suffering financially from this mess.
I work for a computer outsourcing firm. So unless a lot of large companies all go under I should be fine. I can work from home if I want. With everyone else doing that social distancing is easy. I think we had maybe 10 people in the entire building yesterday.

One job greatly reduced. I expect it'll be eliminated soon.
Another one quietly eliminated with official word soon.
ISU still on through May 15th, then no.
So a kind of yes for now, but no soon enough.

CPA. They booted everyone they could out of our office and gave admin staff the choice to go home. Some are still working in the office because they aren't able to work from home.
I will never understand the attitude some staff have of "we've gotten most people out of the office so its OK for me to stay." No *******, the point is to clear everyone out. You have the ability to work from home...quit being a selfish prick and do it.

Financial analyst, sent us home this week. Working remotely from home. Have a 3 month old and the wife is a resident at the Iowa clinic. So I’m bottle feeding while auditing most of the time. Going to be an interesting few months.
Superintendent doing construction mostly on pharmacies for a major conglomerate. They are stopping jobs until mid April unless yours has already started, mine just started Monday. Then it's dependent on supply chains, if we can't get materials they will park us at home for a few weeks. Same goes for inspections hopefully the county office stays open. So far it's business as usual. This job would carry me into mid May if it doesn't stall out.

Sales manager at a lumber yard, we're all still working. We are diligent about wiping surfaces with disinfectant wipes. Trying to practice social distancing as much as possible. I don't foresee us closing unless things get really dire.
Started working from home this week. Still went into the office Monday and had a talk with my boss about thinking it smart that I move to home office. He was like, yes, of course. You could've started last week. He isn't the strongest communicator.
Now I have to try my best to be productive with a kid that turns two this month all bottled up in the house for a month and a wife that's 7 months pregnant. I'm basically the butler now.

I work in mortgage. Thanks to insane interest rates, we’re basically at war. Yeah, I’m working. Forever.
Working from home. Fortunate to have a job I can do from home when needed.
I told one of our leadership that you have too many Type A personalities that will see 'Bob' in the office and want to be there to keep up with Bob. 2 hours later, they sent an email to everyone to work from home and walked around kicking people out.
Working in mortgage. Non-customer facing, but don't have capability to work from home. Company is trying to get laptops but been slow. Restless here as we know half of workforce has it and the other doesn't. But lucky to still have a job, so there's that .
I work for a small business gym, we just closed our doors yesterday. I doubt we survive this as my boss just told me to file for unemployment. My future is completely unknown at this time. All of you with safe jobs that are able to work from home and still get paid, don’t take that for granted.
In their defense if you saw a couple Bobs in the office who wouldn't want to be there.
For me I moved to working remotely yesterday afternoon. I definitely have a job that's possible remotely but it's going to be interesting. I already had plenty of virtual meetings, but most still had people in the room as well so there will be an adjustment there. Then with the kids home as well not being distracted will be tough (he worries about being distracted while posting on Cyclone Fanatic).
